Belleville Sons honored by memorial signs on the streets
where they lived.

resolution to dedicate certain streets in town to servicemen who hailed from
the municipality. The goal is to honor 160 Belleville sons who died while in
service within the next year.

Died on the Fourth of July

Remembering the Men Who Gave Their Lives in Vietnam on America's Birthday

by John F. Schlatter

This is a book about sacrifice, love and remembrance -- the
sacrifice of Americans who died in Vietnam on the Fourth of July, the love of
their friends and family, and the remembrances that honor these heroes after
all these years.

As our Nation marks the 50th anniversary of the Vietnam
conflict, it's fitting to look beyond the debate over that controversial war
and honor the men who bravely did what their country asked of them. The stories
told here are as much about the fabric of 1960s America as they are about the
men who served and died.

Every year on the Fourth of July, while most Americans
are grilling hotdogs, watching baseball and enjoying fireworks, relatives and
friends of 167 American heroes pause to remember a loved one who died serving
our country in Vietnam on our Nation’s birthday.
